22nd to 25th June 2023.

Each year Scottish Women’s Institutes collaborates with the Royal Highland Show to manage the Handcrafts Competition. This year the basketry completion theme is Rainbow. A Fruit Basket, any basketry type.

You don’t need to attend the show to enter. Following your application, you will be sent labels to put on your entry. I hope you will consider entering and help promote basketmaking to a large audience. Please download the schedule for more information.

Post to show: Exhibits for the Handcrafts Competition can be sent by post as from Monday 30th May, to allow for slow parcel service. Sufficiently strong packaging needs to be used, to enable return by post. Stamps (or appropriate courier pre-payment) covering the return journey MUST be fixed to the official labels by the Exhibitor.

Returns: If postage for return by Royal Mail, was attached to the exhibit, the organisers will put these in the post during the week following the Show but note that parcel post can take several days to return to you.

Deadline for entries: 21st May 2023
